Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Philip Hughes:
If I am an air traffic controller and someone is in my sector, then I want to get them out of there as quickly as possible because, for me, that is the delivery of the service but, from a system point of view, it does not work because then we lose, on average, 2,000 slots per day.
During the summer, it went up to 4,000.
